CVE-2022-28161

Authenticated log disclosure via debug logging

Published May 9, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

Information exposure in Brocade SANnav before 2.2.0 allows local users to read SSH passwords via debug-mode filetansfer.log. The debug logging path writes sensitive SSH credentials into filetansfer.log instead of protecting or redacting them. Valid SANnav credentials and debug mode are required, and the consequence is disclosure of logged secrets without demonstrated integrity or availability impact.
